[Granulomatous hepatitis secondary to ingestion of carbamazepine. Report of a case]
Abstract
A 51-year-old man with epilepsy received carbamazepine during three weeks. He developed fever, jaundice, dark urine and pale stools. Laboratory data showed hepatocellular injury and cholestasis; six weeks after withdrawal of the drug these abnormalities returned to normal limits. The liver biopsy showed acute cholangitis, bile duct injury, granulomas and eosinophils in the portal areas.
